This Day's Thought

While a man rests on his own merits for acceptance with God, it is of little consequence whether he be a pagan idolator, or a proud, ignorant Pharisee. I know not which of the two is most distant from the kingdom of God.

James Milner

This Day's Thought

The most difficult thing the good Lord has to deal with in the man of today is his sense of self-sufficiency. He is too prone to think he can get along pretty well without God.

Western Christian Advocate

For you are my lamp, O LORD, and my God lightens my darkness.

2 Samuel 22:29
The English Standard Version

This Day's Thought

That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Saviour, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.

Alexander Maclaren

Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock.

Isaiah 26:4
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

We know that people we love are both good and bad, but we expect strangers to be one or the other.

This Day's Thought

The devil fears a soul in union with God as he fears God himself.

John of the Cross

This Day's Verse

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

Proverbs 4:18
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The audience was waiting for the brilliant pianist to come out onto the stage. Then, to everyone’s embarrassment, a little boy wandered up onto the stage and started banging out one harsh note on the Steinway. Suddenly, the maestro appeared in the wings and made his way over to the boy. Standing behind him as he banged away tunelessly, he began to weave a melody around the note, taking it up into his larger tune and transforming it into something beautiful. After a few moments, the maestro gently led the boy away from the piano, and together they took a bow to the audience’s applause. The little boy wandered back to his seat—not embarrassed, not having been made to look foolish. In the same way, Jesus can take the harsh, discordant, out-of-tune moments of our lives—perhaps a time of sexual sin, or of cowardice or defeat in some other way—and can weave his own purposes around them. As we let him do this, he transforms our mistakes and failures, bringing out of them something he can use for his glory.

This Day's Thought

In an experience which often transcended all their powers of expression, the mystics realized God as an abiding Fact, a living Presence and Love, and by this their whole existence was transformed. And this happened to them, not because He loved and attended to them more than He does to us, but because they loved and attended to Him more than we do.

Evelyn Underhill

This Day's Verse

Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Reprise

He preaches well who lives well. That’s all the divinity I know.

This Day's Thought

No shelter can be imaged at all comparable to the protection of Jehovah’s own shadow. The Almighty himself is where his shadow is, and hence those who dwell in his secret place are shielded by himself.

Charles Spurgeon

This Day's Verse

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:15-17
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Much like our lives, which start out as a blank canvas, we face trials and tribulations along the journey…Through these experiences, whether joyful or difficult, God adds color and texture along our paths to create a beautiful masterpiece.
